Rain Rain go away.

So I did not get that much studying done last night. But I did have a fantastic evening. Due to the hectic-ness of finals and work and life, I had not seen my boyfriend since SATURDAY! We went 3 whole days apart...lol. Silly I know, but it seemed like a lifetime. So yesterday he completed his finals and offered to take me out. Being the crazy girl I am, said YES! So I put my books aside and we went to dinner. To Buffalo Wild Wings, we needed beer. We had so much fun. If I could stand to do it I would not see Brandon for 3 days at a time all the time! We just had so much to talk about and share with each other. And that first hug and kiss were perfect! Gosh it seemed like we were apart for ages! ha. I am so ridiculous. Then we went back to his house and he watched the Black Hawks game with a couple friends while I looked over my notes.

So while yesterday was fantastic, and much needed, I am feeling the pressure of one: still being at work today while I have a final tonight, and two: trying to cram in some studious activity. I am a little more than nervous!

I did figure though that I need A's on both my paper and my final to get an A in the class. Since there are only 4 assignments and 400 points I need to do pretty well. One bad-ish grade could send me far away from the A I want. We'll see if I get it or not.

I can't wait to be done.


And its raining and my umbrella is in my car. What good is an umbrella in the car? None!

I feel like posting again...

I am in a particularly good mood today, and I want to share some favorite things!

Pandora Radio...yeah the forty free hours of music limitation can be a bugger, but I have so many stations and I love them all. My favorite stations, though, are...Norah Jones, The Goo Goo Dolls, and No Doubt's Don't Speak. Perfection.

Rolo Candy! mmmm so delicious. I just ate a handful. Made my taste buds so happy!

Music! I feel like there are some great songs being played on the radio this month. I hope they don't get over-played. Nothing more annoying than that. Need you now, used to be a favorite of mine. Now I change the station when it comes on. :'( But I really like.... O.M.G. by Usher, Break your Heart by Taio Cruz, Young Forever by Jay-Z, and Bulletproof by La Roux. Yeah Yeah I know...all typical radio songs. Whatever. I also popped in a CD I haven't listened to in a while, and fell in love all over again.
Sex Therapy by Robin Thicke It's the best!

Wedding Websites...errhhh....anything wedding! I am that girl who has been dreaming/planning of her wedding since I first learned what a wedding was, it's not totally planned...you have to be able to adjust to changing times and new ideas! I used to want a big elaborate wedding, but now I am thinking destination. Romantic, sandy, and small-ish. That sounds nice to me. These are my favorite websites,
Style Me Pretty, Green Wedding Shoes, Amy Atlas, Melissa McClure, and So Chic Events! Yeah I read a lot of blogs, and they keep me pretty busy! I love my wedding planning internship with So Chic and my buddy Melissa is a photography in San Diego! I am so envious of her!I dream of warm days and neat little places. Peoria doesn't offer much of that!  I love to keep up with the trends and see people in love. There is nothing better than my next favorite thing....

LOVE....it truly makes the world go round.

Fall in love with something today.

I got a 97% on my final this morning! Wahooo!! I am really pumped. SO far I have three A's and one B. I have one more final tomorrow....will I have four A's and one B or three A's and two B's? I don't know it all depends on tomorrow! AAAHH...please I really want four A's!! 

Tomorrow's exam will be pretty hard, and I have to turn in a 10 page paper in the same class. Really hoping for a lot of points!

 I am really looking forward to tomorrow evening. I will be alll done with the semester!

After Wednesday I have to start packing up my room and preparing to move out and into a new house! 21 days until move in day! That seems a lot farther away that I thought. weird.

I am wishing for the warm weather to come back. So far May has been a little chilly. I am sitting at work with my space heater on. I am cold!

*I really hate that "a lot" is two words. Every time I type it good 'ole spell check catches me! It should be one word.

Happy First Five Years!! Love you!

hohum.

Well after spending about 2 hours at the CU Humane Society yesterday we left empty handed. Cooper met 5 different bunnies. We were trying to match him up with one, while also matching me too! I after all will be the momma, I have to like it too!

The first bunny we met, was the  one I had been eyeing on the website. She is a gorgeous lop bunny, like Coop, and is about his age. Well she was just a big fluffy grouch! First off she was HUGE...way bigger than Cooper, who weighs about 5 lbs. And she was just not feeling me or Cooper.
Then the funniest looking bunny was brought in, Hanna an Angora bunny mix. Oh lordy did she make me chuckle. She had a lion mane, and was a real pretty grey color. I would have re-named her mamaw! She looked just like a grandma! But she was a little too hyper-active for me and another lady was looking at her and decided to take her home.

Then, the tiniest little bunny, weighing in at about 1 lbs. and only 6 mo. old was little Lilly. She was the sweetest and softest bunny ever, she nuzzled up to me, my heart melted and I was sold. Then we put her down, and she mounted Cooper and began to hump hump hump away! That little lady has yet to be fixed! Then they started to fight. :( Lilly also maybe has some medical issues. She is being fixed today, and having some issues (mainly her eye) checked out. So next week when I go back, we might try her again if she is still available. She was so adorable.But on my college budget I am not sure I could handle any medical bills if she needed them.

Then we met with a bunny, that was so lovable, but really hated Cooper. She attacked him, and it was Bye Bye to her!

 Then...my favorite of the day was Abby. Abby is five years old (a little older than what I wanted.) But she was sweet as pie. She was so elegant and beautiful I just fell in love. But by this time, she was Coopers 5th bunny- he was hungry and tired and I could tell he didn't want to make anymore friends. So we called it a day. I plan on going back next Thursday to see the selection and try Abby and Lilly again, if they are still available.

I had a great day hanging out with my mom and meeting new creatures, plus the people at the CU Humane Society are just fantastic! They are so helpful, informative and friendly!  Please consider adopting animals from shelters, check out your local humane society. They are really fantastic!

Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

So I am sitting here at 7:50 on study day and I have yet to do one single thing. I do have somewhat of an excuse...I had to "work" today. I never went into the office but we had a meeting at the AFO (agent field office) and then had our Spring Staff party...'twas all sorts of fun. Did have a margarita though! A strawberry one, with strawberry bits n pieces. So yummy! Then I had another meeting.
 Now I am trying to write a 10 page paper on the Smucker's Commercials. I don't even have Microsoft Word open yet... ugghh...It wouldn't be that bad, since it's due next Wednesday. But I have a final Tuesday and a final Wednesday plus Mother's Day is this weekend so I will be loosing a lot of valuable weekend time to spend time with mi madre and mi abuela. : ) So it's a good waste of time, but still it might hurt me in the long run. Especially because tomorrow I am going to find a new friend for Cooper!!! I just can't take it anymore, Cooper is being so bad he might not return from the humane society tomorrow! He is driving me insane, hopefully a friend will pull him out of his slump! I am loyal to the Champaign-Urbana Humane Society so I will be driving down there tomorrow afternoon with Cooper, then getting my momma and we will be visiting with new bun-buns!  This makes me really excited, but it also makes me miss Penelope so much. I am very sad we are in this situation, but I am happy to rescue another animal and give them a good home. Hopefully I will find a cuddle bunny that will love me.

This is Coop and Me on the day I adopted him in July!

Here is Cooper hanging out in my closet...











And just to remember Penelope here are pictures of Her too! She will never be forgotten!

Nel and Cooper in their cage the day I brought them home! It was l.o.v.e.

Brandon and Nel! She was wearing her "trouble" shirt, doesn't she look thrilled? lol...













Gosh I am a friggen dork!  Okay, I realize I have issues. I am fine with that.

I've got my Pandora on, with a mix of Norah Jones, Frank Sinatra and A Fine Frenzy. Time to get into homework mode!


Ps--Thanks Jamie for being a follower! : )

Malibu Barbie Bimbo

Is what my nail color should be called.  I swear I  need a companion when picking out nail colors. My nails need to be re-painted ASAP. My nail lady will now be acquiring a new bottle of OPI. The bottle looks like it has a splash of berry or something, but no it is BARBIE pink, and the top coat is so lustrous - and that makes it worse! It's cute on my toes, but "I Don't Know Beets Me" Is not a color for my nails.

Anyways...The wedding this weekend was perfect! The rain stayed away and everyone was happy! That's all we can ask for! :-) I also had a great day hanging out with one of my bestest friends, which is always a perk!

Today I feel is going to be a really great day! I am at work right now, staying pretty busy. I have to write a short paper for class, then I am going to Martini's with a couple new friends, my bible study leader - Joy and Heather, and one of my roommates! I am really excited for this little night out. It will be interesting, but I am excited to see where it leads. I am excited to be making new friends!

Thennnnn tomorrow is the last day of class and also a very very special day. It's me and Brandon's

5 Year Anniversary! Gosh time really does fly when you're having fun! I can't even believe it! We don't really have any plans yet, with the end of the semester winding down we have been busy. But I am so excited for this milestone! F.I.V.E. Y.E.A.R.S. Holy Cow! I can't even believe it! I am beyond happy!
